This tomato and zucchini salad is delicious to make all summer long and goes with anything grilled. Since you’ll already have your grilled fired up, consider doubling the salad to get a jumpstart on other meals for the week. Plan to use it as a base for other dishes or as a simple side. Turn the leftover salad into a vegetarian lunch option by tossing it with pasta or quinoa or serve it with baked tortilla chips as a snack or party appetizer. If you don’t have grape tomatoes, use a large chopped tomato instead, and try basil, mint, or parsley instead of the cilantro.
